What do you enjoy most about playing the FCYBO league?
I like playing by the high school rules, and we get to have championships.
What are some of your strengths and weaknesses?
I like to ball-handle and shoot 3-pointers and free throws. I love playing defense but I'm not good at layups.
How long have you been playing basketball?
This is my fifth year to play.
What is favorite and least favorite basketball drills?
My favorite is the three-man weave and my least favorite is probably shooting layups.
Name the best game you've played in basketball.
Last year we made it to the semifinals (of the FCYBO tournament). We played Phil Campbell, and I thought we did very well. I didn't get to play in the championship game against Tharptown because I was sick, and it was the first game I had to miss.
What do you think about playing for your dad?
He's tough on me as a coach. He doesn't like it when he's trying to show the team something and I keep playing with the basketball.
What kind of hobbies or activities do you enjoy?
I like staying at home and watching TV and playing on the computer. I play softball and take gymnastics, and I like to deer hunt. Last year was my first to go hunting, and I like spending time with my dad when we go hunting.
What is your favorite subject, and who is you favorite teacher?
My favorite subject is math. My favorite teacher is my second grade teacher Miss Angie Bolton. She was tough but she taught us a lot.
What is your favorite kind of food?
My favorite restaurant is Olive Garden. I like eating noodles, and I love pasta.
What is your favorite vacation spot, and where would you like to visit?
I like Gulf Shores. I've been to Disney World, but I was really little and I'd like to go again because I'm older now and I'd remember everything.
What are your favorite TV shows and movies?
I like "Hannah Montana" because it relates to real life. My favorite movie is "13 Going On 30." I've probably seen it 30 times because I have it on DVD.
